Planning Report and detailed design
Murat River starts its flow from Diyadin district of Ağrı, north of Lake Van. The river is formed by the merging of branches from Aladağ and Muratbaşı Mountain. The 64.10 km section of the main branch of the Murat River, which is planned to be rehabilitated, continues to flow in the north-south-west direction.
It has been determined that the hydraulic capacity of the Murat River is quite limited due to the low slope of the bed and high roughness factors. Alternatives have been developed by considering factors such as bed width, alluvium and portable material structure, route length and low slope with project studies.
